The cheek of it!


Can you believe the cheek of Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh from the reality show X-Factor? After asking the girl group Girl’s Aloud to do a guest appearance on the show, they had the audacity to critise the girl’s singing abilities and live performances.

Despite the fact that the girl group was actually put together by one of Simon Cowell’s shows, Pop stars the rivals it didn’t seem to stop the famous critical Cowell from tearing into them. The comments came straight after one of Simons acts girl group Hope, who sang Amy Whinehouse ‘Back to black’.

Both Simon and Louis praised the girl group saying how good they were and how great it is for a girl group to able to sing live week after week in front of thousands of people. Louis then went in with the sting saying, ‘you are great you’re the best girl group there is in the UK. I’m not going to say whether your better than Girls Aloud but that’s only too obvious’. Simon then went onto say, ‘You are one of the only girl groups today that actually come out and sing live on stage and you should be very proud of that performance.’

What made things worse is that Girls Aloud were set to perform just minutes after the comments were made. You can only imagine how they must have felt having heard those comments and then having to go out and sing in front of everyone, especially if they weren’t singing live.

At the end of the day Girls Aloud are a British girl group who started in the same position as girl group Hope. They too entered a competition and worked hard to get where they are, so is it really fair to critise them in such a harsh and humiliating way?
